Got Shrimp?
« on: 03/26/14 10:15 UTC »
I was playing in the shop last night with my new shrimp mold and these are the first run.


This is ctoms oystershell recipe, but I used green hi lite instead of the blue he uses.  Nobody can make them like ol ctom.


Just a standard pumpkinseed with black flake.  The go to color when nothing else is working


LSU.  Another very good color in all water conditions.

I also make a few that were just chartreuse.  All of these and their friends are headed down to Rock Port, Texas with a friend of mine. These pics don't do justice on how bright the chartreuse is, or how badass that oystershell is in person.  Thanks for the recipe ctom.  Hope he and you all enjoy them.

That's Bear's Shrimp mold.  There is a 3.25" and a 3.75".  I favor the 3.25", but have not bought one because I have plenty molds/baits that are close enough to a Shrimp that I haven't spent the cash for a Shrimp mold.  Bear's Shrimp is the best of all the mold makers, IMO.

If Jerry would let me go up there and borrow their CNC Machine, I'd put a Shrimp on aluminum alright.  I trawled for a lot of my life...I've handled thousands of pounds of Shrimp...

Very nice work.  I really like the way you incorporated the two color accents.  All of the baits  look to be real fish catchers.

I throw a jig head through the face of it and fish them bumping them off the bottom.  I also coat these things in shrimp/garlic scent and the flounder and reds cant stay away if they are in the area.  Have caught trout on them as well, well the ones I bought in the past.  The only flaw I have ever have with a shrimp plastic is little action in the tail.  Im sure you could get some more by using soft mix but I just fish them slow and add a little scent to them.

Burn, Shrimp swim with very little "action"...they swim with the little legs underneath their tail.  Your Shrimp plastics "swim" with a very natural "shrimp action" already.  Do things how You see fit, of course, but know that Your baits are already doing very well in the way of swimming naturally when they're retrieved.  And DO NOT limit Yourself to bouncing a Shrimp along the bottom.  When the Shrimp are on the move, present a Shrimp plastic almost the same as a minnow imitation, just without the twitching.  Shrimp don't dart "in forward", they only dart when they jump backwards.  A slow, steady retrieve, maybe with some slow-slow-twitching, is all it takes to make it imitate a Shrimp.  The only side-to-side that Shrimp do is about like someone making a slow turn on a skateboard...they kind of veer while they're pushing forward.

Just know that Your Shrimp already have most of their natural "action" (or lack there-of) built in the bait.  My jaw will drop when someone offers a mold that we can shoot that has the little swimming legs beneath the tail, that actually swim...and not curltails (I've seen that already).
